    Feed My Starving Children
 

 

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals formulated specially for starving children, and we ship the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world. Click here to learn more about FMSC and how you can become involved.

 

 

 

     
    Nothing But Nets    
    When you go to sleep a night, mosquitoes are the least of your worries.  But life is different in Africa, where mosquitoes spread malaria, the continent's number one killer of children under age 5.  The disease claims a child every 30 seconds - that is nearly 3,000 children every day.

 

The good news is that you can save one of those lives by providing a bed net through the Nothing But Nets campaign.  And all it takes is $10 - the price of a lunch out.

 

Between now at April 25 (World Malaria Day), are you willing to skip lunch to send a $10 bed net to a family in Africa?  The $10 you'll save is all it takes to shield them from mosquitoes during the night, when bites are most likely to occur.

 

Join the people of the United Methodist Church, founding partners of Nothing But Nets, to save a life by choosing "to lunch or not to lunch" on or before World Malaria Day.

 

Get involved today at www.umcnothingbutnets.org, where you can make your $10 commitment.  The website also features information on malaria and World Malaria Day.  To give by phone, please call 888-252-6174.

 

    Skip a Lunch.  Send a Net.  Save a Life.  That's all it takes.
